Taylor Swift’s new album Midnights to drop in October, as the singer has just revealed to her fans some details of her upcoming album: ‘The stories of 13 Sleepless Nights’.
The news by the singer came a few hours after taking home video of the year at the MTV VMAs on Sunday.
“I had sort of made up my mind that if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand-new album comes out Oct. 21st,” Swift said in her speech before teasing that she would be releasing more details at midnight.
In a post shared on her social media, Swift later confirmed the title of the upcoming album is Midnights.
“Midnights, the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life, will be out Oct. 21. Meet me at midnight,” she wrote online.
Swift’s recent album announcement comes almost a year after she released Red (Taylor’s Version) in November 2021.
After Scooter Braun bought Swift’s former record label Big Machine — and with it, the masters to Swift’s first six albums — the singer shared that she would be re-recording her entire catalog so that she would own her art in August 2019. (Braun has since sold the masters to a private equity firm but continues to profit off them.)
Since then, she has rerecorded two of her first six albums, including Red (Taylor’s Version) and Fearless (Taylor’s Version), which was released in April 2021.
